The Story
A chemist to bend nature, 
wanted simply to defeat the sniff. 
He whirled, stirred, and mixed 
and found a pill, but a darned ... 
Well, admittedly, with the sniff and the pill is guessed. The spectacular discovery of this brilliant scientist has not been known yet.

The good man worked for an influential organization, which he himself did not really trust. Therefore, he stored his secret research results on different microchips and embedded them in crystals. Subsequently, he distributed the countless data crystals in the hundred caves of a large mountain.
But a little bit of the whole story got through, and so the legends about the world-moving scientific sensation arose, which the ominous Kauz then finally took to the grave.

It was only after the death of the scientist that a spy succeeded in obtaining indications of the secret formula. Immediately the agent went to investigate the Swiss cheese mountain thoroughly.
But the scientist had taken care of the caves with some robotic guards. And that was by no means the only problem for the spy. These damned grottoes should give him some headaches.
But the curiosity motivated, finally it was to find out what the ominous formula was now good ...

Goal of the game

In each level, all diamonds (blue diamond on field, red several diamonds on a field) must be collected, but it must be watched that falling rocks, earth, lava, but also monster trap Them do not get caught. The aim of a level (or a cave) is to get a cave exit alive after collecting all the diamonds. Existing monsters can be captured or converted into diamonds by destruction. You must not leave the cave before Trapthem!

Start a level 

The following cave areas can be selected in the selection menu: Entry, Action, Mixed, Puzzle and Hot Zone. 
It is useful to play all the caves one by one from top to bottom, since some caves can only be entered after completing previous caves. 
Before a level is started after loading, a short instruction with the key assignment appears and a brief indication of how the level is to be solved.

Creation

For a puzzle, it is a simple and simple design with the help of a modified Multicolor character set in 2xZoommodus. Normal background mode uses Extended Background Color (Extended Background Color). The graphics were accompanied by gloomy background music and effect sounds , as well as by animation of the creatures. The title intro and the level range selection of the game were very well designed in Multicolor . The instructions at the beginning of the level are kept in the simple C64 character set . Some caves are magnified in double size. In these caves trapthem and the existing creatures were programmed as sprites , otherwise they are also represented as normal, modified characters.
